Alleviating Patient Backlog After COVID: The Role of AI in Radiology

The sudden spread of COVID-19 in early 2020 has considerably exacerbated the existing issue of growing patient backlogs. Image recognition artificial intelligence (AI) represents a potential solution to this problem.

Circular End of Life Supply Chain for EV Batteries in the UK

A ground-breaking project to create a new circular end-of-life supply chain for the electric vehicle industry is being led by EMR Metals Recycling. The project has won grant support from the UK Government's Advanced Propulsion Centre.

Customisable Humanoid Robots for the Elderly

Staying independent and in familiar surroundings as long as possible in old age - this is the wish of the most of us. It will be made possible by humanoid assistance robots that help people cope with everyday life and wearable robots that support the movements of the wearer.

Deep Learning Algorithms Helping to Clear Space Junk from our Skies

How do you measure the pose - that is the 3D rotation and 3D translation - of a piece of space junk so that a grasping satellite can capture it in real time in order to successfully remove it from Earth's orbit?

Imec: Developing Sars-Cov-2 Test With Results in Less Than 5 Minutes

Imec begins developing SARS-CoV-2 test to identify positive cases and confirm whether someone is contagious in less than five minute. The groundbreaking approach will use virus particles in exhaled breath for quick, easy, comfortable, large-scale testing.
